Lumbar disc herniation, which department should we go to?

Abnormal lumbar intervertebral herniation is a common spine disease. Most people can be cured conservatively, but 10% of patients still suffer from the torture of lumbar intervertebral herniation. Especially in the elderly, the body’s resistance and recovery capabilities are reduced. There are too many people who can only lie in bed all year round.

lumbar disc herniation is mainly due to rupture of the nucleus pulposus. Patients with epidural compression often have lumbar spinal stenosis, and the protrusions compress the nerves for a long time, which can cause the patients to have nerve compression symptoms such as difficulty walking, numbness of the lower limbs, etc., and severe walking disorders and incontinence may occur.

2. When surgery is needed, surgical treatment is only for patients with severe spinal cord and nerve compression! Therefore, it is better to go to neurosurgery to further clarify the condition and consider surgery.
